“Pee Mak” now the 2nd most popular Thai movie

The new Thai movie “Pee Mak Phra Khanong” has been doing really well at the box office. In just ten days it has made 231 Million Baht, making it the second most successful Thai movie. It’s doubtful though it will grab the crown as this firmly belongs to Suriyothai which has made 550 Million Baht.

UPDATE: According to The Nation, only cinemas in Bangkok and Chiang Mai are being counted for the industry’s box-office totals, even though in recent years more multiplex cinemas have opened upcountry. So, once they add national box office receipts, the totals could surpass Suriyothai.

Went to see it subtitled and frankly I think you miss most of it if you cannot speak Thai fluently, may be the subtitles were bad but I found myself wondering why people were laughing so hard on many occasions. I think most of the humour is in the language and without it you’re just left with silly acting.
